UPDMAP.CFG(5) UPDMAP.CFG(5)
NAME
updmap.cfg - configuration of font mapping/inclusion for dvips and friends.
DESCRIPTION
The file updmap.cfg is the central font configuration file of a teTeX system and is read
by updmap(1). It describes if and how fonts should be included (or not included) into
PS-/PDF-files. This works for Outline (Postscript Type1) and Bitmap Fonts (Postscript
Type3) mostly coming from MetaFont.
updmap is a utility that creates font configuration files for dvips(1), pdftex(1),
xdvi(1), ps2pk(1), gsftopk(1), dvipdfm(1) and (soon) dvipdfmx(1). In an ideal world,
updmap would be unnecessary -- each of these programs would read the same configuration
file to learn what fonts are available and how they should be treated. As things stand,
however, each of these tools has subtly different requirements and thereby needs its own
font configuration file. updmap creates font configuration files for all of these pro-
grams from a single source, updmap.cfg, allowing you to easily keep all the different con-
figuration files in sync.
dvipsPreferOutline
Configures if dvips (by default) should prefer bitmap fonts or outline fonts if both are
available? Independent of this setting, outlines can be forced by putting "p
psfonts_t1.map" into a config file that dvips reads. Bitmaps can be forced by putting "p
psfonts_pk.map" into a config file. We provide such config files which can be enabled via
dvips -Poutline ... resp. dvips -Ppk ...
Valid settings for dvipsPreferOutline are true / false.
LW35
Which fonts of the "Basic 35 Laserwriter Fonts" do you want to use and how are the file-
names chosen? Valid settings:
URW: URW fonts with "vendor" filenames (e.g. n019064l.pfb)
URWkb: URW fonts with "berry" filenames (e.g. uhvbo8ac.pfb)
ADOBE: Adobe fonts with "vendor" filenames (e.g. hvnbo___.pfb)
ADOBEkb: Adobe fonts with "berry" filenames (e.g. phvbo8an.pfb)
dvipsDownloadBase
Configures if dvips (by default) should download the standard 35 LaserWriter fonts into
the document (set true) or should these fonts be used from the ps interpreter / printer
(set false).
The user can override the default by specifying dvips -Pdownload35 built-in fonts.
Valid settings are true / false.
pdftexDownloadBase14
Should pdftex download the base 14 pdf fonts? Since some configurations (ps / pdf tools /
printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The pdf files will get
bigger, though.
Valid settings are true (download the fonts) or false (don't download the fonts). Adobe
recomments to embed all fonts.
dvipdfmDownloadBase14
Should dvipdfm download the base 14 pdf fonts? Since some configurations (ps / pdf tools /
printers) use bad default fonts, it is safer to download the fonts. The pdf files will get
bigger, though.
Valid settings are true (download the fonts) or false (don't download the fonts).
Map
Points to a map file, which describes a mapping from a font (called in the TeX document)
to the pfb file containing the Postscript code.
Usage: Map filename.map
The syntax of map files is the same as dvips(1) uses, see section 6.4, "'psfonts.map':
PostScript font catalog" in the manual of dvips(1), available as info and pdf file.
MixedMap
Similar to Map. It should be used when there is Type1 and a bitmap implementation of the
font (the latter mostly coming from MetaFont). These entries will not be used in the
default map of dvips if dvipsPreferOutline is set to false.
Usage: MixedMap filename.map
The sign # precedes a comment.
Not used Map files should be commented out using the string #! at the beginning of the
line. These entries can be (de-)activaed using updmap with the options --enable and --dis-
able.
SPECIAL TO DEBIAN
In Debian the file updmap.cfg is a generated file sitting in /var. It is generated by con-
catenating the *.cfg files from /etc/texmf/updmap.d/. These files follow the syntax of
updmap.cfg, but contain only parts of it.
